I finally got a chance to get out and fire a few of my fist batch of PC'd pistol bullets. I fired some 45 cal. and some .380's. The little 380s shot about the same as plain cast or the expensive store bought self-defense rounds I use for carry. That's a good thing.
I was unimpressed with the 45s performance. They tended to shoot real low at 25 yards with widely dispersed groups.
Cycling with both semi autos was flawless it's just that with my Kimber 45, I'm so used to that gun shooting accurately with every other bullet I've shot out of it that it just sticks in my craw that it didn't shoot well this time out. I'll have to teak the loads to see it that will help.
I just love the fact that I got no leading and that cleaning was a breeze compared to before. I'm not ready to give up just yet.
On a side note; I finally finished my second set of swaging dies for the Smooth-Sided 30 caliber rifle bullets I've been working on. Now I just have to finish up my adjustable 30 caliber bullet mold and I'll be ready to rock and roll with them too.
